@ -836,53 +837,15 @@ options offered by these authentication modules.
Some authentication methods need additional modules, see `Python Versions and
OS Support`_ for further information.
You can also write and use a custom module handle authentication if you use a
different technology.
Please note that these modules have not been verified by security experts. If
you need a really secure way to handle authentication, you should put Radicale
behind a real HTTP server and use its authentication and rights management
methods.
Git Support
-----------
.. note::
If the project doesn't comply with the requirements to use Git, Radicale will still work.
Your collections will run fine but without the versionning system.
Git is now automatically supported on Radicale. It depends on `dulwich <https://github.com/jelmer/dulwich>`_.
Configure Radicale
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Radicale automatically detects the *.git* folder in the path you configured for
the filesystem_folder variable in the ``[storage]`` section of your configuration file.
Make sure a repository is created at this location or create one (using *git init
.* for instance) else it won't work.
To summarize : 
- Configure your Git installation
- Get Radicale and dulwich
- Create the repository where your collections are stored
- Run Radicale and it should work
How it works
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Radicale will automatically commit any changes on your collections. It
will use your git config to find parameters such as the committer and that's all.
Issues
~~~~~~
A dulwich project ported on Python 3 exists but it seems that it doesn't follow the
current api (committer is mandatory and not retrieved from the git config by
default). Until this problem isn't fixed, the Git support for Radicale on
Python 3 will not be ensured.
